    This is exactly what I needed, especially after I had to say goodbye to our pet cat yesterday

    I inherited my bfs pregnant dog when he passed in 2005 and that litter of puppies saved my life. They made me smile every day when I didn't feel like I could and there was one who, like Banjo, absolutely imprinted on me and I couldn't give him up. I had him for 14 wonderful years. Thanks for sharing and the walk down memory lane!

      I love that he would just sit and stare at her with, as she said, "old eyes". Yep, he was sent there, on a mission to help heal her heart. I'd say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Animals know when we're sad. I lost my beautiful gray tabby almost a year ago. About a month after she passed, Gus, my coworker's support dog began to visit me each morning. He'd hang around and let me pet him. Now he visits me twice a day and that makes me happy.

    The little Banjo gave her such a glance with so much hope that if she hadn't understood that they were predestined, she had a real problem of comprehension Thank you for making the lives of the foster Puppies a real adventure with lots of opportunities to socialize and explore wilderness and for taking Banjo into your life full of freedom and discoveries where his personality can flourish between you and his best buddies

    I had to put my dog down yesterday. Banjo reminds me a lot of what mine looked like as a puppy and how deeply he imprinted on me and my family. We are so blessed to share our lives with dogs (and all other animals, for that matter). My cats and foster kittens are helping me get through the grief, but videos like this help too. Thanks for saving Banjo and his siblings. They’re going to have amazing lives.

      @bkm2797 3 місяці тому

      Did you watch the video, it was clear that amongst all the puppies, Banjo had picked her as his human. I had a similar experience with a friend long ago, we went to the house of a breeder with no less than 10 schnauzer puppies, it was my friend who was getting one so I sat on the floor away from him. When they opened the sliding glass door all the puppies came in, my friend was trying to pick one, but they kept running away from him, all of a sudden I felt something on my leg and when I looked down, it was this puppy looking up while leaning on me, he didn't move, there was no doubt he had picked me. None of the other puppies came over for a visit, just this little guy.

    I will never forget the "muddy puppies" incident, lol. I went on a horseback trail ride with an exchange student who was staying at my parents'. One of the guides had a bunch of puppies come with us. They LOVED it, but they got tired halfway in with their itty bitty legs. So we got to carry them back with us! Squirmy, licky, fuzzy ADORABLE puppies. Of course it looked like we'd been rolling in muddy puddles, but I couldn't care less they were so cute.

The happiness is oozing out of your little posse and it's wonderful 🏵️ and you are more than the person you were before. This is such a gift, i know how it feels to have gone through something traumatic, when you emerge feeling less than before... and not knowing if you will ever find your way back. But to come through to a different place, a better place with a whole other level of fulfillment as the light you truly are. May you keep growing and enjoying everything that brings you joy 😘

    So... about Banjo...
    I was having a really bad day. I take a medication that has some fairly nasty withdrawal symptoms and was stuck at the pharmacy waiting for them to fill the order and everything was going sideways. I'm mad at everything and in an effort to get myself under control, I go over to the book rack. Just by sheer random chance, I pick up a 'Charlie Brown' book and flip to a random page. In it, Charles Schulz is quoted saying the most ridiculous thing: "At the age of six, every child should be issued a puppy and a banjo." I couldn't help but laugh. And then I thought, "Where's my Goddamn banjo? I never got a banjo!" 🤣😅
    So, here's to you and your Banjo. I hope you have many happy years together.

    I started doing hospice fosters right after my divorce (abusive ex husband who was a sociopath and narcissist as well as a pathological liar) he messed my head up big time.. doing hospice fosters really taught me to live in the moment, and you can make your own happiness and to live life to the fullest. I didn’t get to have them long just a couple months but they taught me so much and really helped me gain some perspective. 2 years ago i helped out a rescue that had taken I m60 puppies in one month, I fostered 2 just 4wk old pittie mixes (their momma had tumors on her nipples and couldn’t feed her puppies) and while I’ll never foster 2 puppies at the same time again (it was exhausting) I did foster fail and decided to adopt the runt whom I named Olaf and he’s on his way to becoming my service dog. Dogs are the best healers ❤
